The SAFE Mega-Mistake Merger: This Is Getting Really Scary!

  

 Because now even the trolls agree it's a bad deal! 

✅ Yesterday's post [link] led to a lively - and lengthy! - commentary on the voting/approval process for the SAFE Board merger muck-up. Here's how it ended:

  • 2:52pm You commented: "Not sure if SAFE hired someone to help with due diligence, but if they did, they should get their money back."

    So at least we both agree that the merger is a really bad deal for SAFE members.

    Take it you too would vote "NO" if you were a SAFE member!

  • Yes, IMO its bad for both SAFE members and Boeing members. As a SAFE member I would absolutely vote no.

     

    😎 What was the SAFE Board thinking? As required by law, the majority of SAFE members are not going to vote for this merger mistake... 

     ... and the trolls agree with the member-owners!  

                                  The SAFE Board is "(fill in the blank)".

    The SAFE Mega-Me Merger Mess: Depends On Your POV?

                            ✔ As the SAFE Leadership see themselves?

      As the financial experts see it!:

    1]  Better rates                                            YES     NO   

    2]  Lower operating costs                             YES     NO   

    3]  Enhanced technology                              YES     NO   

    4]  More branches/ATMs                               YES     NO   ❎ 

    5]  Retain local ownership/control               YES     NO    

    6]  Assured increase in community support YES     NO   

    7]  In-state California regulation                  YES     NO   

    8]  Return of capital to SAFE members         YES     NO    

    9]  Member dialogue prior to agreement      YES     NO    

    10] Will strengthen the Sacramento area    ðŸ˜Ž  YES     NO    

     ✔ If 122,501 SAFE member-owners do not vote in favor of this "nothing-but-nonsense" merger, will DFPI follow the law and disapprove the merger or overrule SAFE members and the best interests of the people of California?

    😎    DFPI's decision will be to determine among 1) the SAFE Board, 2) the impartial financial experts, and 3) the majority of all SAFE members who will not vote in favor of the merger...
